Recs if you like The Curse of Eelgrass Bog...

While it is highly celebrated in June, the Queer community exists all year long and this working list is created to support/encourage others to read more literature written by & represented people within said community.

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Middle Grade books that show kids bucking the system, resisting empire, and learning critical community values. Even if no direct political commentary is made, these stories model anti-capitalist/white supremacist culture. Recommendations welcome!

Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.

Suggestions are appreciated!

Bog one bog all to the list of books that include “bog” in the title! All genres included :) happy to receive any suggestions !

A list filled with adorable middle grade/children's fiction to take us back way back when. (A good unwind session plus it would be great to share these to get more kids into reading-all suggestions welcome)

A non-exhaustive list of magical middle grade alternatives to the series which shall not be named. Only the first book of those that are part of a series is listed so as not to overwhelm. This will grow as more alternatives are found / published.

Everyone goes through a slump at some point for one reason or another. This is a list of books that will hopefully get you back into reading. The list contains books that are generally faster paced with an easier reading level. Not everything on this list will fall into those specifics but I think they fit here. Novellas, short story collections, and graphic novels are also included. Hopefully at least one of these books will interest you ♥
